Oh dear Sue that’s a bummer isn’t it. We have our mealie feeder about 3 ft from nest box. But both are well camouflaged in the tree.
I know exactly how frustrating it can be when you put out food and the don’t even look at it . We had same with lone dad last year .he never did find it wherever we put it.
As you say the sparrows could disturb her if it’s too close.
You can’t hang it in the bush I can see in the pic. It might stop the sparrows if it’s half concealed.and she might find it pecking in the bushes.
Hopefully she hasn’t got too many chicks in there.
We could swap nests . I have three chicks who get brought too much food .😂
